rhyllJust realised that I haven't posted in a while - how will my family know that I'm alive?
No new year's resolutions. Maybe I will get around to completing last year's resolutions. I give it a 50% chance. At least I am finally finished fiddling around with my computer, and it is working beautifully again. Turns out most of the problems I was having were just stupid things I had done. It always seems to be the way, and so I'm on the lookout for it - the problem, really, is working out which stupid thing I have done. But once I get my greek keyboard up and running (it is mysteriously absent), everything will be fine and I will have to start looking for a new thing to break.
Apart from that it is all about getting Everything back on track. I constantly have this feeling that I have almost sorted things out. But I never quite get there. Is this a thing you guys do, too? Immediate concerns are the looming Thesis Issues, but I am almost thinking a lot about how to adjust gears on my new (!) bicycle and how to be friends with people I approve of, in a pleasant way. Sometimes I forget what to do when you spend time with people (right now, Carcassone is winning). Sometimes I just forget that there are people who I should call.
I wonder if one day I will Sort Things Out in a sustainable way, so that they stay sorted?
Also, I was thinking that perhaps I need to sort out what sort of Grown-Up I want to be. Because I was being introspective again the other day, and it occurred to me that while I'm pretty clear on what kind(s) of kid (or even, *gasp*, young person) I want to be, I don't have a picture of "adult" that I feel comfortable inhabiting. Which is fine for the times that I can just be a kid, but sometimes I have to be an adult.
I really should be working.
